This is a pic I took of New Castle before the sun rose. We had had a snow storm the day before. Today I was the first one up here except for the dozer.
This is Jake. As you can see it was snowing a bit...He is bobtailing this piece. Normally this piece wouldn't be as high or as wide and it would be under a trailer.
This is Cody in a twin steer truck. He is bobtailing this piece...
This is the third day and one of the last pieces to be moved. Aaron and Paul are two trucking the A-legs along with the derrick. This is exciting to see. Usually the A-legs and derrick is broken down into sections but since this was on top with no power lines or overpasses to have to clear, they kept it altogether to move it. This makes rigging up faster, etc. This was day three and the snow storms were over. It was a beautiful day and you could see for miles in every direction.

Wow, those are some major pieces of equipment!! I'm always impressed by the magnitude of what you guys do. And the area looked beautiful and peaceful too after all that snow. Great pictures! Love ya.
Wow! The scenery is breathtaking...must be incredible to be surrounded by all that beauty! Thanks for sharing as as always: BE CAREFUL! Love you!
Okay, so it turns out that I don't like this background...sorry, I itwill change it to something very cute tomorrow, just too late right now and Colton is helping me type and he wants to go to bed, and so do I! Love you and sorry about this background! Love you!
Holy cow! So what exactly does "bobtail" mean? I'm assuming that is means that some major piece of equipment is about falling halfway off the back of the truck. Now, you pilot in the front, right? Those are some pretty awesome pics of your world. Looks pretty cold too. Again, I always say BE CAREFUL!
